Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing dynamic tracking error
detection and control in an optical recording system in which an incident beam records
data on a medium in the form of marks. A diffraction-based mark formation
effectiveness (MFE) signal is generated by monitoring a reflected write signal in part of
the return beam aperture or in multiple zones of the return beam aperture and is
indicative of a characteristic of the marks formed on the medium. A position signal is
generated to provide an indication of cross-track movement of the incident beam
relative to a tracking structure on the medium. The tracking structure may be a
wobbled groove on an optical disk recording medium. Variations in the diffraction-based
MFE and position signals are correlated to provide a dynamic tracking error
signal (TES). The diffraction-based MFE and position signal variations may be
correlated by, for example, multiplying the two signals together in a multiplier circuit,
or using the position signal to control application of the diffraction-based MFE signal
to particular inputs of a signal difference circuit. The dynamic TES may be utilized in
a servo loop with or without a push-pull signal or other conventional tracking signal.

Abstract: Method of making polysiloxanes by ring opening
polymerization of dimethylcyclosiloxanes such as
hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D 3 ) and cyclosiloxanes such as
1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris (3',3',3'-trifluoropropyl)
cyclotrisiloxane (F 3 ) or 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetrakis(3',3',3'-trifluoropropyl)
cyclotetrasiloxane (F 4 )
in an acid-free system using electrophillic initiators. The
reaction mixture is formed under anhydrous conditions and
contains (i) the cyclosiloxanes, (ii) a Lewis base such as
2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine which serves as a co-catalyst and
an acid scavenger and, optionally, (iii) a salt of a strong
acid such as tetrabutylammonium trifluoromethane sulfonate.
The anhydrous mixture is contacted with a silyl ester of a
strong acid such as triflic acid. The anhydrous reaction
mixture is agitated at room temperature until a polysiloxane
is formed. Polymerization can be initiated practically
immediately after introduction of the cyclosiloxanes, by
first adding the Lewis base to the silyl ester and allowing
the Lewis base and the silyl ester to interact.

Abstract: A method of testing a telecommunications link between a subscriber unit (20)
and an exchange (30) is disclosed. The method includes the steps of causing
(6) a subscriber unit (20) to emit (70-72) a predetermined signal, which is then
transmitted along the link (26) to the exchange (30). The received signal (8) is
analysed (12) and a determination is made (10) regarding the quality of the
telecommunications link (26) based on the received signal. More specifically, an
assessment of an operational quality of the telecommunications link at relatively
high broadband frequencies is based on the signal received at the exchange
(30) when the predetermined test signal is one of a DTMF test signal
transmitted within a relatively low audio frequency range and an accurately
generated signal generated from a dongle (60) placed in-line between the
subscriber unit (20) and the telecommunications link (26). In relation to the
accurately generated signal generated from the dongle (60), it is preferable that
the test signal has frequencies relatively close to and most preferably within a
frequency band of a proposed broadband service.

Abstract: In the production of ice-cream cornets and ice lollies,
it is current practice to use gripping and supporting means,
among other things to enable the products to be secured in a
hanging position for the execution of a dipping operation in
a coating medium such as chocolate. The support arrangements
normally used are quite complicated, and with the invention
it has been found that ice-cream cornets can easily be supported
in both a simple and gentle manner by merely being inserted
in a support hole in a thin rubber plate which, as an
annular clamping lip, extends in towards the support hole
from the edge of a broader opening in a support part for the
rubber plate. Upon insertion of the cornet, the clamping lip
will be axially bent out to form a self-blocking extraction
lock, the effect of which can, however, be overcome by forced
pressing-out of the cornet. In a quite corresponding manner,
it is possible to grip and hold a flat lolly stick by inserting
it into a narrow slot in the rubber plate.

Abstract: A database that can store static and dynamic entries, wherein a static entry
contains conventional static data, and a dynamic entry contains information
specifying dynamic behavior to control devices on a network. In this database, the
act of storing a dynamic entry in the database triggers control over devices on the
network. More specifically, one embodiment of a database system according to
the present invention includes a data storage medium for storing entries as well as
an indexing structure for locating entries on the data storage medium. It also
includes a storage mechanism for performing operations to store entries on the
data storage medium. Encoded on the data storage medium are dynamic entries
containing descriptions of dynamic behavior for the devices on the network. The
database additionally includes an execution mechanism that, in response to a
dynamic entry being stored on the data storage medium, commands the devices on
the network to perform the dynamic behavior specified in the dynamic entry. In a
variation on the above embodiment, the execution mechanism is configured to
periodically monitor and control the devices on the network.
